Fleet managers and drivers who operate commercial vehicles will already be familiar with the purpose and benefits of a tachograph. With most drivers now transitioning over to digital tachographs, it’s these devices that facilitate driver data storage and monitoring, looking at driver hours and activity, as well as downtime and vehicle maintenance.
A digifobpro provides quick access to driver card data, complete with a full colour display which allows for thorough driver and analysis. It may look like a small handheld device, but its capacity for fast processing, storage, and ongoing data analysis is huge.
The role of a digifobpro
If you are a fleet manager, arming yourself with a digifobpro facilitates efficient monitoring of both driver activity and vehicle management, assessing when vehicles are being driven, how long for and how consistent the driver behaviour.
This small handheld device downloads the data from driver cards and presents it in a way which is easy to track and monitor. Some of the most popular displays include weekly summaries, active infringements, an overview of the vehicles used and the time each driver spent behind the wheel. This data can be used by in-house fleet managers as well as external compliance inspectors to understand how a vehicle has been used and how well drivers have kept to the driving hours laws and regulations.
Benefits of installing a digifobpro
The benefits of a digifobpro are best identified when you consider the data collected by a tachograph and what it is used for. Tachograph data tracks driver hours and ensures that drivers are working within the regulations laid out by EU legislation. Access to a digifobpro means that all the data collected on a driver card can be displayed and monitored, ensuring compliance and driver safety.
It also tracks the use of the vehicle and calculates over speeds and infringements, rest periods, maintenance checks, and even when a vehicle has been driven without an active driver card present.
All of this, contained within a device that uses sophisticated technology; with Bluetooth, built-in WiFi connectivity, faster processing and integrated data analysis, all facilitating quick access to the data you need.
The importance of accurate driver data
Fleet managers and drivers alike use the data collected from a driver card to optimise safety and therefore meet compliance requirements across the sector. This is a crucial aspect of maintaining an ‘O’ licence, with the display on a digifobpro making it easy for fleet managers to assess data and address any gaps or concerns in that data before it is requested by an inspector.
